I'm looking to switch from JomComment to ChronoComment, and I see that a feature of v1.2 is "bad words censoring"... I actually don't mind "bad words" on my site and might lose a few commentors if I censor... can this feature be turned off?

hi, just leave the bad words box empty and no bad words will be censored!🙂

Cheers

Thanks Max! I've talked to my editorial & programming teams and it looks like we're going to make the switch to CC.

A couple more questions for you:

Can we turn off the "thumbs up" / "thumbs down" feature?

Can we order the comments with the oldest starting at the top?

Also, are there concerns about 3rd party community integration? We may want to team up with KickApps to offer a community component on our site.

Hi CubikBizDev,

Can we turn off the "thumbs up" / "thumbs down" feature?

not yet, easy to do but will be done in the new version.

Can we order the comments with the oldest starting at the top?

aren't they ? when you post new comments they go down of the list..

Also, are there concerns about 3rd party community integration?

what kind of integration ? Community builder is the only community extension I know and we have some avatar integration with it, I'm planning to make a community extension too and if so CC will integrate with it, no idea about others.

the plan is to set CC to work under any joomla page, content or not content, I plan to present this at the coming release if possible.

Cheers,

Max

Hey Max,

What is the easiest way to change the default sort order of comments? I have a page that they need to show the newest at top..

I tried changing line 17 in comment-form.html.php from:

	$query = "SELECT * FROM #__chrono_comments WHERE component = '".JRequest::getVar('option')."' AND pageid= '".$pageid."' AND parentid='0' AND published='1' AND verify='1' ORDER BY datetime ASC";

to:

	$query = "SELECT * FROM #__chrono_comments WHERE component = '".JRequest::getVar('option')."' AND pageid= '".$pageid."' AND parentid='0' AND published='1' AND verify='1' ORDER BY datetime DESC";

But, no dice..

How should I go about changing this sort order??
Also, I see at the top of comment-form.html.php you have a surprise waiting for us later!😀 A little sorting code is there, but commented out, waiting for implementation! Sweet!

Great news of turning the thumbs on and off, that'll be great! Once this setup is done I'll add it to the showcase page. I used the ChronoComments component as a prayer request piece for a church website,.. made some minor layout/design changes and removed the 'thumbs' down - for obvious reasons LOL. They use the 'thumbs up' to let someone know that they've pray for that request.. they really like it.!

Hi Jesse,

Thanks, I think to change the order this should be done in the plugins files under plugins/content/

Cheers,
Max

Ahhh.. the plugin.. got it! Thank you!
